  • Module Description

    • Brief description of the Module: 

      This module, in the first semester, covers mathematical topics such as algebra, functions, geometry and trigonometry, calculus. And in the second semester,  provides students with a more extensive knowledge of calculus (especially in techniques of integration) and an introduction to complex numbers, numerical methods, vector analysis and power series. 

      The module aims to reinforce and extend the existing mathematical skills of those students taking it in Semester 1 so that they are prepared for more advanced mathematical topics to be covered in Semester 2, and thereafter for degree programmes requiring a more thorough and comprehensive grounding in mathematics.

      This module is appropriate for those students progressing onto degree programmes in mathematical sciences, and those degree programmes in physical science and engineering which require a more thorough and comprehensive grounding in mathematics.

  • Sem 1- Week 1: Powers and Logarithms

    This week we want to welcome you to the course and show you how to get the best out of it.

    In SEF041 Mahtematics B momdule, in the first semester, we will cover mathematical topics such as algebra, functions, geometry, trigonometry and calculus. In the second semester, module provides students with a more extensive knowledge of calculus (especially in techniques of integration) and an introduction to complex numbers, numerical methods, vector analysis and power series. In this module you are going to learn by working on tasks. To complete the tasks, you will need to find information and understand ideas. On this QMPlus page are resources that will help you do that.

    This week, we are going to work on few tasks together that will introduce you to this way of learning and we will look at rules for powers and logaritms and we will learn to solve various equations involving exponentials and logarithms.

    THIS WEEK'S LEARNING OUTCOMES

    By the end of this week, you will be able to Apply the rules for powers and logarithms to a variety of problems and solve exponential and logarithmic equations, namely you will be able:

    1. Simplify expressions involving powers with the same and different bases.

    2. Understand the relationship between exponential and logarithmic expressions.

    3. Transform exponential expressions into logarithmic ones, and vice versa.

    4. Know and apply the rules for logarithms, including the rule for the change of base for logarithms and simplify logarithmic expressions.

    5. Understand and applying the methods for solving different kinds of problems involving exponentials or logarithms.


    You will achieve them by using the online content below (Mathematics B workbook, videos and chosen sections from the recommended textbooks), and consolidate them by attending the live session. 

    Mathematics B workbook is the main set of notes (containing all the lecture notes, examples and worked examples) and each chapter [Mathematics B workbook - Chapter X] will be available each week. This workbook is designed for your independent study. It contains the notes, related to the given week's learning outcomes. This material is a main source for your learning for this module with plenty of examples and exercises for independent learning and contains FULL Learning Outcomes summarised after each chapter (which you can use as a checklist for the course). We will refer to these Chapters and Worked Examples in the live webinar sessions as well.

    Note: On the bottom of each TASK’s resources there are also EXTRA PRACTICE links (do them if you fell that you need extra practice) and ADDITIONAL MATERIAL. Both of these resources are not obligatory (they won't be required for the live sessions or tutorials) but you may wish to use these, for example if you feel that extra practice would be helpful for you – they are carefully chosen to match the topics of the given TASK. You may wish to use these, but they won't be required for the live sessions or tutorials.

      Examination: 50 % of final grade

      See 'ASSESSMENT Profile' for more details


    • FORMATIVE/REFLECTIVE ASSESSMENTS (do not count towards your module mark) Page

      Online Quizes: There will be eleven Quizzes in Sem A in the form of online quizzes. There are no Quiz in Weeks 7. Each Quiz consists of 5-10 questions. All Quizzes are Important.  These Quizzes do NOT contribute to your final mark for this module.

      Weekly homework sheets: Provide exam-like Questions related to the topics of the given week.

      You should revise the corresponding notes and related workbook chapter and the tutorial sheet solutions prior to attempting the problems from the homework sheet.

      Then work through these exam-like questions, write down your solutions and submit them to your tutor or lecturer.

      Homework and online Quizzes are optional (does not count towards your module mark) however tutors or lecturer will check your solutions and provide detailed comments on scripts. Homework does not contribute to the final mark, but it will be checked and corrected. 

      This is the only way you can get feedback on your individual work throughout the whole semester on this module.

      Even though the submission of homework is optional understanding the solutions to these problems will be required for the mid- and end-term tests and the exam. The problems set in Homework Sheets are based on past exams, so it is really good preparation!

    ASSESSMENT 1 TEST RULES:

    1. All questions will need to be answered correctly to get the highest mark 100%. No answer and incorrect answer give 0 marks.

    2. For each question there is a single correct answer. Record each answer in the corresponding place.

    3. You will be provided with Questions and answers papers, where spaces will be available to record you answers.

    4.  And you MUST REMEMBER to SUBMIT the Questions and Answers Sheets before 1 hours period has elapsed. This assessment is scheduled only once and cannot be rescheduled. Any student who fails to attend an assessment (and who does not have a valid reason for applying for exemption due to extenuating circumstances) will be awarded 0 marks.

    The topics included in the test are covering Mathematics B workbook - Chapters 1 - 4 (inclusive), i.e. WEEKS 1 - 5 TASKS (all included).

    REVISION:

    To prepare for this assessment, I suggest you go over your lecture slides, revise all the weekly TASKS, completing questions on corresponding Mathematics B workbook chapters,  the Weekly Homework Worksheets, and any related material you have found, as you normally would for a written exam. 

    Revise your own notes, QReview recordings and do extra examples suggested under the links in each of the TASKS and from the recommended textbooks. Don't forget to review the Tutorial sheets solutions. 


  • Sem 1-Practice Quizzes 2024/2025

    These quizzes don't count towards your final mark - they're just to help you learn.  They all have multiple-choice or numerical answers which are marked automatically, and you can attempt them as many times as you want.  So please keep trying until you get all the questions right!

    Some of the questions are deliberately tough, because you're allowed several attempts, so don't get disheartened if you find it difficult - the best way to learn is to struggle with difficult tasks.
